Chana Masala: A classic chickpea curry - is one of the simplest and most delicious ways to transform a can of nutrient-dense chickpeas into a meal. It’s even better the next day - this recipe doubles easily, if you want leftovers to bring to work for lunch. Serve warm, over rice. |

Charred Chickpea & Corn Quinoa Salad: Toasting the corn and chickpeas boosts their flavour; omit that step entirely if you’re in a rush and add them directly to the salad. |

Pork Carnitas with Black Beans: Carnitas - or “small meats” - are all the rage these days, and perfect for dinner parties served family-style. Simply set out a pot of braised meat, another of beans, a stack of warmed corn tortillas and all the accompaniments - chopped tomatoes, onions, avocado, salsa and sour cream and let guests serve themselves. For each carnita, spread beans on a tortilla, top with a small pile of braised pork and whatever toppings you like, wrap and eat. |

Roasted Squash and Chickpea Pizza: Using a strongly flavoured cheese such as Gruyère on a pizza means you can use a little less of it. While Gruyère complements the flavours beautifully here, you can certainly use mozzarella or cheddar (or a combination of the two) if you prefer. |
